Air Quality - Humidifiers / UV
Humidity
Air in your home that is too dry can be uncomfortable to breathe, and can damage wood products like flooring, pianos, picture frames and cabinetry. In the winter, it’s especially important to add moisture to the air, since dry winter air can drive down the relative humidity level in your home. A humidifier installed with your central heating system can help keep the humidity in your home at the proper level.
UV
Today’s energy efficient homes do a great job of sealing in heated and cooled air. Unfortunately, these airtight homes also trap things you don't want:
- mold,
- bacteria,
- viruses,
- fungi,
- dust
- other pollutants
Carrier offers an excellent solution for reducing many of these pollutants, leaving your home with cleaner, fresher, indoor air — the Carrier Ultraviolet Germicidal Light (UV Light).
The Carrier UV Light unit is mounted inside your system, near the indoor coil, where fungus and microbes may grow. The UV Light works to clean the coil and prevent the growth of fungus on and around the coil by destroying the DNA of the fungus to kill or deactivate it. Used in conjunction with a Carrier high efficiency air cleaner, the conditioned air circulating through your home is cleaner and fresher, while the inside of your system stays cleaner for maximum efficiency and performance.
The Carrier UV Light works silently and improves system efficiency by enhancing air flow and minimizing microbial build-up on coils. All with the efficiency of a 75-watt light bulb.
